Mga Sanggunian sa Talmud para sa Ezekiel 44:22: Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot, Jerusalem Talmud Bikkurim & Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin

Example. The elder Rebbi Hoshaia and Rebbi Judah Neśia were sitting together. Rebbi Joḥanan ran und whispered into Rebbi Hoshaia the elder’s ear: May a Cohen who is injured in his testicles marry the daughter of converts? He¹⁵⁶R. Jehudah Neśia. asked him, what did he tell you? He answered, a question which a carpenter, son of carpenters¹⁵⁷A Sage, son of Sages., cannot resolve. He did not ask me about a convert, since she is like a whore for him¹⁵⁸Mishnah 6:5.. He did not ask about an Israelite daughter, for she will be desecrated¹⁵⁹Since he remains a Cohen, he desecrates any woman forbidden to him.. He asked only about the daughter of converts! Is the daughter of converts not an Israel¹⁶⁰Mishnah Qiddushin 4:6. If she was conceived after conversion, she is an Israel for everybody except R. Jehudah who excludes descendants of converts from the priesthood on basis of Ez. 44:22. Cf. Bikkurim, Chapter 1, Notes 96, 104.? You have to explain it following Rebbi Jehudah, since Rebbi Jehudah says, the daughter of a male convert has the status of a desecrated male¹⁶¹Since R. Jehudah is not followed in practice, R. Joḥanan’s question is answered in the negative even by a minor capacity such as R. Jehudah Neśia..

HALAKHAH: “Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob says,” etc. There, we have stated⁸⁷Mishnah Qiddušin 4:6.: “Rebbi Jehudah said, the daughter of a male proselyte is like the daughter of a male desecrated one⁸⁸The child of a Cohen and a woman forbidden by the rules Lev. 21:7 (a prostitute or a divorcee) cannot be married by a Cohen. Desecration is not removable and is inherited by his descendants...” They all interpret the same verse (Ez. 44:22): “Only virgins⁸⁹Since a widow is forbidden only to the High Priest, the verse describes a woman who was a virgin from the seed of Israel. Since verses in sources other than the Torah cannot be prescriptive, one speaks here about rules the Cohanim accepted over and above the ones spelled out in the Torah. from the seed of the House of Israel.” Rebbi Jehudah says, unless his father be from Israel. Rebbi Eliezer⁹⁰Ben Jacob. says, either her father or her mother. Rebbi Yose says, unless they are born in the holiness of Israel⁹¹Born after the mother became Jewish.. Rebbi Simeon says, unless they grow the hymen⁹²It is generally accepted talmudic medical theory that a girl who was raped when she was less than three years of age will regrow her hymen. in the holiness of Israel. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Simeon⁹³Sifry Num. 157; Babli Yebamot60b, Qiddušin 76b, 78a.: “A girl which became a proselyte being less than three years and one day of age is acceptable for the priesthood since it was said (Num. 31:18): ‘All the female children unfit for sleeping with a male⁹⁴Being less than three years of age. you shall let live for yourselves,’ and Phineas was with them.” But the rabbis [say], you shall let live as slaves⁹⁵This word has slipped in as a routine expression. and slave girls for yourselves.

“Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob says,” etc. There, we have stated: “Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob says, the daughter of proselytes should not marry into the priesthood unless her mother be from Israel” They all interpret the same verse (Ez. 44:22): “Only virgins from the seed of the House of Israel.” Rebbi Jehudah says, unless his father be from Israel. Rebbi Eliezer ben Jacob says, either her father or her mother. Rebbi Yose says, unless they are born in the holiness of Israel. Rebbi Simeon says, unless they grow the hymen in the holiness of Israel. It was stated in the name of Rebbi Simeon: “A girl which became a proselyte being less than three years and one day of age is acceptable for the priesthood since it was said (Num. 31:18): ‘All the female children unfit for sleeping with a male you shall let live for yourselves,’ and Phineas was with them.” How do the rabbis explain? You shall let live as slaves and slave girls for yourselves.
